Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors.

  • The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few office based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.
  • This is a general selection process for software engineers focused on virtualisation and container technology - from the kernel through userspace.

We invest in open source related to application isolation, workload orchestration, system or OCI containers, micro service architecture or cloud infrastructure.

  • RustVMM has great potential as a new hypervisor for Linux. We are building a team to work on this, with an emphasis on performance, security and operability.
  • Our Rockcraft team is designing and implementing an elevated Docker image experience for the open source community.
  • LXD is a modern system container and virtual machine manager that is widely used on Ubuntu, ChromeOS and other Linux platforms.
  • The Kubernetes product team builds MicroK8s for on-rails K8s, and Charmed Kubernetes for more sophisticated integration.
  • The OpenStack team deliver Charmed OpenStack, OVN / OVS and Ceph.
Job RoleResponsibilities
  • Design and specify new features, building consensus on approach
  • Engage with upstream communities in your area of expertise

  • Write high quality code to create new features
  • Debug issues and produce high quality code to fix them
  • Review code produced by other engineers
  • Discuss ideas and collaborate on finding good solutions
Requirements
  • An exceptional academic track record from both high school and university
  • Undergraduate degree in Computer Science or STEM, or a compelling narrative about your alternative path
  • Drive and a track record of going above-and-beyond expectations
  • You have worked on open source virt or container tech
  • You have experience working in the kernel or very low level system
  • Professional written and spoken English
  • Experience with Linux (Debian or Ubuntu preferred)
  • Excellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountability
  • Passion, thoughtfulness, and self-motivation
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills
  • Result-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitments
Benefits
  • A distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • A personal learning and development budget of USD 2000 per year
